Those children made a big impact on Wendy and Chris.

Wendy Attoe wasn’t thrilled with the idea of fostering children when her husband, Chris, first presented her with the idea. But she agreed to give it a shot. And two years ago, when they became the first licensed treatment foster family in Western Wisconsin, they were blessed with two beautiful foster children. Those children made a big impact on Wendy and Chris and now they couldn’t imagine their lives without them. Just a couple of weeks ago, the family sat in a courtroom as the Attoe family became larger by two. Six-year-old Infinity and 13-year-old Trysten now have their forever family and are ringing in 2017 with the last name, Attoe.
